safe_chains/pathgate.rs
1//! Cross-cutting path-operand gate (adversarial-review audit fix). The engine gates its 15
2//! resolved commands' file reads/writes by locus (HP-20); the ~1600 legacy commands are a
3//! parallel surface. `pathgates.toml` describes, per legacy command, the ROLE each path
4//! argument plays — `read` (a disclosing read), `write` (a write-target), or `ignore` (a URL,
5//! an `-i` identity, a converter's transcode input) — and a single walker here gates each path
6//! by the matching locus face. Roles come from a positional policy (with `skip_first` /
7//! `last_write` / `remote_aware` modifiers) plus a per-flag map; the three flat lists
8//! (`read` / `read_tree_after_first` / `write`) are shorthand for the common positional policies.
9//! `awk` is gated in its own handler instead (its regex programs contain `/` and `$`).
10//!
11//! Role assignment is authored knowledge, not inferred from spelling: the same `~/.ssh/id_rsa`
12//! is a denied `read` for `scp` (exfil) but an `ignore` transcode input for `ffmpeg`. The gate
13//! only ever turns an already-allowed verdict into `Denied` (`handlers::dispatch`); it can
14//! never widen one.
